if this were to happen the results would have been ass backwards. PA's 20 electoral votes, that all went to Obama since he won the popular vote by 300k, would have gone 13 Romney, 7 Obama. Republican congressional candidates win 13 of 18 seats with under 50% of the total votes cast for congressional candidates. I'm not sure the state republican party would go that far since it would draw attention to how crappily this state is gerrymandered. Most state representatives supported the new districts because it made them "more safe".
